Funny you should ask!
TECHNICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP
This summer, we are piloting a new program in Technical Theatre that runs in tandem with the Summer Musical Theatre workshop. Guided by a professional teaching-artist/theatre technician, a select group of students will have the opportunity to learn about lights, sound, costumes, props and stage management. During the rehearsal process for The Music Man and for Beauty and the Beast, students will be involved in the technical design of all aspects of the productions as well as stage management duties. The performances are at a professional theatre venue where students will get hands-on experience running lights and sound and/or being on stage crew. I believe this is the only such program offered in Westchester county and I am very excited about the possibilities this program offers. Currently we are aiming for kids ages 12-16 for this program, but we are flexible if a younger or older student is interested.
MUSIC & ARTS HAS AN EXPANDED THEATRE PROGRAM
CREATIVE DRAMATICS
The Summer Music and Arts program is offering Creative Dramatics as an alternative to a group instrument lesson. Creative Dramatics teaches the basics of stage craft and story-telling. Children are taught how to use their voice on stage so they can be heard and how to use their body on stage so they can physically convey characters and situations. Improvisation is used in many forms to help build confidence, unleash the imagination and find the students’ strengths. Children work in small groups on scenes and skits and present their work at the final presentation.
JUNIOR MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP – DOO WOP WED WIDING HOOD
Kids who stay for the afternoon will be rehearsing and performing a really fun musical theatre piece for children called Doo Wop Wed Widing Hood. It’s a 1950s
rock and roll romp through the Red Riding Hood story with lots of new and interesting characters and songs. Loads of fun!
It’s going to be a great summer at the Conservatory. For details, email info@musiced.org!
